The Ketchum keystone. [volume] (Ketchum, Idaho) 1885-1899, 1887-10-01

On Wednesday night, shortly
after nine o'clock two miners
named Johnson and Cratsenberg
were held up b. two foot pads in
the vincinity of the Central Lodg-
ing house where they were stopping.
johnson, who is a young Mormon,
Just out in the world on his own
hook, was relieved of fifty dollars
in money and his watch, and after
being held up was SO badly scared
that he made a break for the hills,
crossed the river three times and
finally brought up at the smelter,
wet and shivering with cold and
half scared to death. His compan-
ion contributed the sum of five
dollars and quarter to the robbers
and then came to town and reported
the occurrence. The miners say
that the men who robbed them
were both short in statue and had
their faces concealed by a mask OF
white cloth. Both were armed and
used their revolvers as a cheerful
persuader to enforce the demand
made of "hold up your hands
No trace of the thieves has yet
been discovered.

Rumored Changes.

A rumor has gained circulation
that Rev. l. T. Osborn, of the Epis-
copal Church, officiating at HALEY
and Ketchum, is to soon tender his
resignation. This rumor has prob
ably grown out of the fact that a
church has been organized at Belle
vue, and the charge of the new par
ish rendered him. Such a propO-
sition was suggested but it is now
more than probable that Mr.. Os-
born will remain at Haley as rec
tor of Emanuel parish, and Bellevue
and Ketchum assigned to a new
clergyman. If such prove to be
the case, the people here will gen.
orally regret losing Mr.. Osborn,
who has endeared himself to not
alone the communicates Of his
church, but one and all who have
attended his services during his
monthly visits. While regretting
his withdrawal from the work in
this parish, a cordial welcome will
be extended to his successor.

BISHOP TALBOT
An Eloquent Divine Cordially Received.
The Reception rendered Him.

Rev. Ethelbert Talbot, Episcopal
Bishop of Wyoming and Idaho
Territories, officiated ut the services
held at Union Church on Sunday
last, assisted by Rev. /. T. Osborn.
The attendance both morning and
evening was unusually large, and
the gentleman made a most favora-
BILE impression upon all. He is a
forcible, easy and eloquent speaker,
combined with an unusual degree
of earnestness, and his discourses
were attentively listened to. Com
ing here an entire stranger, Bishop
Talbot found waiting for him true
mountain welcome, and has left,
feeling assured of the hearty friend
ship of our residents. Owing to
the great amount of territory he
has to travel over in order to fulfill
all his appointments, his stay at
any one place has been necessarily
Of short duration, and his time
fully occupied in becoming ac-
quainted with the people and their
needs. On Tuesday evening last
the ladies of st. Marks parish ten
dered him a reception at the resi-
dence of Mr.. w. H. Greenhow,
which was numerously. attended.
The parlors were handsomely dec
Grated with flowers, and the hostess,
ably assisted by her many lady
friends, We'd with each other to
mark the gathering as one of pleas
ant remembrance to the distin-
guished gentleman, and all partici-
pating in bidding him a cordial
welcome to this portion of his new
field of labor. During the hours
of the reception the time was passed
in social converse, interspcrsed with
the rendition of several musical Sc
lections and the partaking of re-
freshments, until the hour of de-
parture arrived and regretful leave
was taken of the new Bishop. On
Thursday Bishop Talbot left for
Challis, holding service there to-
morrow, going thence to Salmon
City and returning to Boise City by
way Of Blackfoot and Pocatello.

The New School House.

Under the terms of the agreement
entered into, the contractors having
the construction of the new public
school building in charge should
deliver the same to the trustees to-
day fully finished in accordance
with the contract. The work is not
yet complete and the contractors
are compelled to ask an extension
of time in order to finish the work.
Ordinarily it is always best to hold
contractors to the strict letter of
their agreement, but to do so, it is
also imperative that when once a
plan is adopted and the contract
signed that no changes be ordered
by the other party, as no matter
how slight they may be. the fact Of
any change being made in the plan
is deemed sufficient to vitiate the
existing agreement. In the con-
structiOn of the school house, and
the granting of an additional few
days for its completion, several
things are to be taken into consid-
Grafton. The construction of the
stone foundation and basement
walls has been done in a far better
manner than the specifications
called for, involving an extra ex-
pense of several hundred dollars
beyond the estimate, all Of which is
met by the contractors. The delays
occurring by the non-arrival of ma
terial and the scarcity of skilled
labor, proved another serious draw
back. The most important part Of
the work is now in progress, that
of plastering the interior walls, and
should not under any circumstances
be hurried through. Better to give
a months additional time and have
this important part of the structure
carefully done than to have it rushed
through, and within few months
have the walls in such a condition
as to necessitate repairs. 1t is a
subject of general remark that our
new school house is as handsome
structure of the kind in the coun-
ty, and compares favorably with
any in the territory, and it would
be the hight of folly to now rush
the work of plastering to such a
degree as to in all probability mar
the effect of the buildings interior
appearance. The contractors ask
for thirty days additional time,
and can have their work all COM
pletcd and turn the building over
in good shape to the trustees if such
extension is granted. No very Sc
rious inconvenience will be sus-
tanned by the granting of the ex-
tension, and in SO doing the trustees
will conform to the wishes of the
taxpayers in the district, who pre-
fer to have the work completed as
it was begun, in good shape, rather
than have the most important part
rushed through and sighted.

A MINERAL EXHIBIT.
A Commendable Move Made by the
Portland Pair Association.

The Mechanics Fair Association
Of Portland, Oregon, will hold itt
annual exhibit this month, com
mencing next Thursday and con
tinuing for sixteen days. The
managers recognize that a mineral
exhibit will prove an extra attrac'
ton to the fair and in order to Sc.
cure specimens from all points in
Idaho solicits the loan Of such
agreeing to pay all charges on the
same both going and returning,
while in case of valuable specimens
they will pay express charges on
the same, guaranteeing their safe
return. Such an offer should not be
allowed to pass by without advan-
tage being taken Of it. True, the
time is short but there could be,
nevertheless, a number Of fine spec
linens sent, and in so doing no bet
ter mode of advertising our resOur-
ces in mineral wealth be made. A
few large samples of ore from the
Ophir, Yankee Blade, Dollarhide,
Carrie Leonard, and other mines
can easily be secured and sent to
Mr.. A. S. Whiting, superintendent,
who will see that they are prOmi-
nently displayed. In this cOnnec-
ton it has also been suggested by
Mr.. Herbert Lang that steps be
taken at once in Portland to have
permanent mineral display in
that city. People in Portland are
awakening to the fact that Idaho
presents a great field for invest
ment in mineral claims. 1t has
been slow to appreciate this fact
but it is gradually drawing upon
them that such is the case. A per-
manent exhibit will impress the
people there of the actual richness
of this part of Idaho, and it can be
added to, time by time. But i'm any
event, the opportunity to send a
fine specimen for exhibition at the
coming fair should be embraced
and no fear need be entertained but
that any piece of ore thus sent will
be promptly returned at the close
of the exhibition unless the owner
desires it to remain there. Fully one
hundred thousand people will visit
the fair, coming from all parts of the
coast. Parties sending such sam
piles should be careful to mark the
name of the mine, its location and
the value of the ore, so that it will
tell its own story to each observer.

Cath" on Jo-yo.

siderable of a sensation in Gotham.

and others, have flOcked in crowds
to see him. Jo-Jo' well merits his
title of the human skye terrier,
for never was q resemblance more
striking and complete. He looks
as though nature had taken extra
pains in designing him, and then
executed the job in most artistic
manner. 'Jo-Jo' is exceedingly
playful in disposition, and loves to
romp with children. He is exceed
ingly bright, speaking Russian,

ready acquired q smattering OF

The Wallace Free Press, pub
lished in North Idaho, thus views
the Nevada annexation scheme:
Southern Idaho ard Nevada would
form q state with boundaries far more
unnatural than those of the present terri
tory of Idaho. Reaching the most CEN
trail point Of the proposed state would
be more convenient than it is at present
to go from the Panhandle Of Idaho to
Boise. But objections from gcograph
ical STANDPOINT are not the most serious
1t would form new state that might be
controlled Ivy the Mormon Church. The
Mormons of Southern Idaho and Eastern
Nevada combined, with loss.of the Pan
handle to the Gentle vote, would almost
have majority. What was lacking could
lie shipped in from Utah. There are
many reason why Northern Idaho should
lie part of Washington. Southern Idaho
would yet have the resource and area to
make \ good state. But her gentle vote
must be greatly increased, or her Mormon
vote reduced"
The Lewiston Teller, replying to
an editorial of the Moscow Mirror,
republished last week in the KEY
STONE, deals fairly with Delegate
Dubois in the following:
Had other xnnexationis,s did As we did
in the North. Mr.. Dubois would have been
defeated. We did not regard Mr.. Dlbois
- . trickster dealing dOubly with the
people in this matter, but many who
supported him, who, for aught we know
to the contrary, were As deeply imbued
with the spirit Of annexation rs Ourself,
seemed to imagine that Mr.. Dubois, be-
cause he WAS a republican, should favor
annexation in congress. Take the case
of the people of Moscow, they all voted
for annexation save six citizens, and yet
Mr.. Dubois received egg votes out Of
the 400 cast. In Lewiston 302' votes
we're cast, and oil but ten were cast for
annexation, while MIR. Dubois received
l22 Of the votes cast. Other precincts
in the county did the same thing but not
to the same extent. If he works against
our annexation 10 congress, he will do no
more than what he said he would and no
more than We expected. Mr.. Dubois has
acted honorably up to his pledges aud we
shall honor him for 90 doing. though he
may injure the prospects Of our annexa-
ton. Northern republicans have none
to blame but thcmselves, who would not
take their own candidate At his word
